The Japanese automaker Nissan has just unveiled the updated GT-R at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, this new spec GT-R is basically the same super car that has been undergoing continuous development since it went on sale back in December of 2007 with a few more performance enhancing upgrades. The new GT-R will go on sale in Japan on December 7th starting at 8,610,000 yen for a standard version, while a GT-R SpecV will run consumers closer to 15,750,000 yen.
The exterior of the refreshed GT-R remains mostly the same, a functional change was made by incorporating the more sophisticated SpecV rear diffuser into the back end of the standard GT-R. On the inside Nissan has opted to use a new hard drive based navigation system called CARWINGS and a new USB port so that owners can plug in their digital music storage devices and enjoy the drive even more. The regular GT-R received a revised suspension complete with a stiffer front shock and spring package and harder bushings for the rear end, while the SpecV comes with its own unique rear dampener designed to take the performance of the hard core factory tuned super car to new heights.
The low and mid range response from the VR38DETT is improved on both the Nissan GT-R and SpecV models thanks to a pair of newly adopted hexagonal meshed catalytic converters that reduce backpressure and allow the turbochargers to spool up much quicker. This results in a GT-R that not only handles better than the previous version, but also feels faster off the line thanks to the revised exhaust plumbing. With a razor sharp SpecV model that costs almost twice as much as the standard version, Nissan is now tailoring to a wide variety of super car aficionados.
